August 3, 2020 COVID -19 Update
Today Governor Hogan issued another Executive Order to help reduce the spread of the pandemic in Maryland. In this most recent Order the use of masks and face coverings are expanded in the State requiring their usage in public spaces when social distancing cannot be achieved.
The Order also expands the types of businesses that are allowed to re-open in the State. However, our main office will remain closed to the public, staff who are working from home will continue to do so, and residential buildings with restricted access will continue be closed to visitors. We will continue to monitor the data and science regarding COVID-19 and will remain vigilant protecting staff and our vulnerable clients.
July 22, 2020 COVID -19 Update
As our region and the nation struggles with managing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the AIRS | EHM | City Steps offices remain closed to the public. Our team continues to provide supportive housing services to our clients remotely and using social distancing, mandatory temperature scans and wearing PPE when in-person work is necessary to perform our duties.
We urge our clients to remain at home to reduce their exposure to the virus. Our residential programs that have restricted access to the public will maintain the current. Despite the significant inconvenience we feel that this course of action is necessary for the health and wellness of our clients and staff.
June 3, 2020 COVID-19 Update
This afternoon Governor Hogan continued his easing of COVID restrictions by announcing the beginning of “Phase 2” and further scaled back his previous Executive Orders regarding the State of Emergency. As of Friday June 5th (this Friday) most non-essential businesses will be allowed to re-open.
As stated before, this "re-opening" of Maryland will not affect the current operations at AIRS | EHM | City Steps. Our main office will remain closed to the public, staff who are working from home will continue to do so, and residential buildings with restricted access will continue to be closed to visitors.
This pandemic is not over.
Hundreds of new cases are routinely reported daily in our state and social distancing practices are not only still recommended, but remain the best way to protect our staff, clients and volunteers.
If you have any questions regarding our position or the status of our operations please let me know.
